Create marketing strategies to develop your business

More often than not when you start a business firm whether it is service oriented or product oriented, you will be facing a string of problems on the fortnight of the inaugural day. Then you find out that as you were busy preparing for the induction of the firm, you forgot to plan for the working days of the firm. This mayhem may not only occurs on the season of induction, but also when you lack long term planning. This haywire situation can be overcome by strategic planning.

To be more industrially correct, you can call it marketing strategies. In the technical aspects, marketing strategies can be said as covering all the bases to meet the sales of a company and to make it more reachable to the customer. By doing these, one should be able to analyse the current situation of the company and formulate, evaluate and select the suitable method and adopt it to contribute to the goals of the firm.

Here are some of the strategies that you would want to do when you start up your firm.

1) Gimmicks

The most important strategy to market a new product is to promote it via some jaw dropping offers that go round amongst the people within hours. Flipkart’s one Rupee pen drive on “Big Billion Day” was a revelation in the city. These gimmicks can go round the globe faster than you would have ever dreamt of.

2) Branding

This is of course the part of development that many young entrepreneurs venture into which the pioneers didn’t. When you want to build a strong basement for your firm, then there should be a kind of exclusiveness that others didn’t possess. Branding keeps you always in the thoughts of people with the uniqueness.

3) Pricing

Even though today’s consumers look at every aspect of the product to compare it all the possible ways, still the cost of the product contributes the most to the sales. When you want to hike your sales, there is no other go other than to be cheaper. Amazon’s Kindle is the best marketing strategy which offered the main product at a much lower cost and later tallying it sub products.

4) Targeting the consumers

Not every service or product appeal to all categories of the people. There are certain limitations in the reach of consumers. So it is the very important to focus on the sector which consumes the most. Airtel’s strategy of special offers to college students a decade ago was one of the milestones in marketing strategy. That tactic still makes its strong hold in 19-25 year consumer sector.

5) Tie-ups

This is definitely one of the most exercised practise of marketing even in the conventional way. When you can penetrate deeper into the market along with your ally, then it’s a win-win situation for both the sides. The recent tie-up between the PayTM and the Sunfeast Yipee noodles have raised the eye brows of veteran strategists as the infiltration have anchored both the parties in the market.

These five strategies are enough to cover all the bases for your business. When it is done on a routine basis, then there is absolutely nothing that may backfire you at any cost. You could very well be one among Ambanis and Tatas.
